I
have to be frank with you, the GREATNESS we deserve takes more than we
are currently GIVING. It takes a LOT of PLANNING; strategic ones. It
takes a lot of Goal setting; SMART ones. It takes a LOT of Initiatives;
Calculated Ones.
As we begin the 2nd half of the year, We can't
afford to repeat our 1st half failings. Back to the dressing room we
should go. Time to roll up our sleeves, set GOALS and get going at achieving them.
I see people PRAY in such ways as: "Lord, move me to the 'next level'
in this 2nd half of the YEAR". It's good to pray for a movement to the
next level, but we have to define what the next level means to us. The
next level to some people could mean "5 more girlfriends","2
international trips" or "Publishing a new book".
Stop praying to
God for just any next level. Define what the next level means to YOU and
how much contribution it makes to the BIG picture.
The bible says: "Commit your plans unto the LORD, and HE will establish your thoughts".
You see that? Stop crying to God to ESTABLISH your thoughts when you
have committed no plans to him. God works with what you COMMIT to him.
Give God something to work with.

If
only someone could just appear out of the BLUES and give us our dreams. I
mean we could easily JUMP START our ultimate destination and boycott
the whole GROWTH that we would have had to do. Can't we? I mean... Just
like that.
Even if we can, I would turn down the chance to have
such. I would say NO! I want to know how it feels to EARN those results
and global platforms. The disappointments, start all-overs, delays, prices, people, protests, power and Experience. That's where the VALUE is.
It's actually not about what we will have or how much money we will
gain access to. It is rather about WHO we will become by going through
every single BUS STOP and MILESTONE that leads us to our DREAMS.
The
VALUE is in the JOURNEY. We lose the journey, we lose the VALUE. So
rather than cut corners, we stand and face the OBSTACLES head-on. We
might WIN, we might LOSE, who cares? What we know is we will KEEP MOVING
and even if we will lose our lives, we will lose it FIGHTING. Fighting
for how we would rather be respected, what nation we would rather live
in, what future we would rather prefer, what legacies we would rather
leave for our children. We never FIGHT, we never WIN.
The day we stop FIGHTING for what we want, we start putting up with what we don't want.
We WANT it so MUCH, so we will keep FIGHTING for it.
